“Proximity to the public transportation system, namely Kampung Selamat Station in Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line 1, which will be operational on 16 December, is the main attraction for buyers,” Mah Sing chief executive officer Ho Hon Sang said in a press statement today.

The 51km MRT Line 1 begins from Sungai Buloh and runs through the Klang Valley with stops in areas such as Kota Damansara, Mutiara Damansara, Bandar Utama, Damansara and Kuala Lumpur city centre before ending in Kajang.

Ho said a covered walkway will be built to provide direct access to the MRT station from the project and shorten the walking time to the station. The construction of the walkway is expected to be completed by June 2017, while the completion of the entire development is set for 2018.

The 6.55 acre D’sara Sentral is an integrated development with a gross development value (GDV) of RM911 million. It features retail shops, one tower Small-offices Versatile-offices or SoVos and four towers of serviced residences.

D’sara Sentral will be the catalyst for growth in the Sungai Buloh area as the integrated development could create more business activities and job opportunities while bringing greater vibrancy to the area, said Ho.

Currently, the retail shops are 83% completed while the SoVos and the first two towers (SA1 and SA2) of serviced residences are 40% completed.

The final two towers of serviced residences (SB1 and OLO) are now 30% completed with their structure framing reaching level nine and level eight, respectively.
